One thing I would love to see is some performance tests (possibly in the OpenSim core, or maybe even 
as an external package).  If these could be run and the results possibly posted to a website (along 
with machine information and OpenSim configuration information) that would be tres tres cool.

I know that's a lot to ask but one can dream :-)  Of course, it doesn't simulate realistic long term 
loading but it would provide some very interesting data.
